I'm looking forward when I'll be cancelled because I left the default branch name as master on my public github repos.

No joke, in my mind this "solution" is on the same level as this monstrous cancelculture. You put a tracking in an OSS project that sends 2 anonym ID and maybe an IP address (which is easily spoofable anyway)? Time to cancel your career and your livelihood.




Historically, there have always nearly always been negative consequences for doing things that infringe the rights of others.

If someone else telling the truth about one's actions on their webpage is a threat, perhaps people should be more measured in the actions they undertake.

What I'm describing is reporting, not cancellation.


Report the company then, not the "worker bee". You're pursuing evil in your current plan.


Companies are fictional abstractions and cannot write code.

Humans are the ones responsible for their actions.
